We propose a model for a Resource Description Format (RDF) database for interlinear glossed text (IGT) created from documents encoded in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) using markup metaschemas. A metaschema, constructed using the Semantic Interpretation Language (SIL) (Simons 2004) maps XML-encoded documents to a common semantically rich RDF database. The RDF database in turn can be searc...

A database is defined as collection of information that is organized to access, manage, and update data easily and efficiently. All our data is stored in a database and there are multiple ways to interact with the database to access our data. A user needs some technical knowledge to extract data from the database. They need to use SQL for data definition, data manipulation, or data control. How...

The F́ıschlár system provides a large centralised repository of multimedia files. As expansion is difficult in centralised systems and as different user groups have a requirement to define their own schemas, the EGTV (Efficient Global Transactions for Video) project was established to examine how the distribution of this database could be managed. The federated database approach is advocated whe...

First, a short introduction to inductive logic programming and machine learning is presented and then an inductive database mining query language RDM (Relational Database Mining language). RDM integrates concepts from inductive logic programming, constraint logic programming, deductive databases and meta-programming into a flexible environment for relational knowledge discovery in databases. Th...

It is a long term desire of the computer users to minimize the communication gap between the computer and a human. On the other hand, almost all ICT applications store information in to databases and retrieve from them. Retrieving information from the database requires knowledge of technical languages such as Structured Query Language. However majority of the computer users who interact with th...

Data mining, also referred to as database mining or knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), is a new research area that aims at the discovery of useful information from large datasets. One of the most interesting and important research problems is discovering of different types of rules (e.g. association, characteristic, discriminant, etc.) from data. In this work we propose the new SQL-like la...

The applicability of programming languages for knowledge based systems to real life application problems is largely determined by their support of modularity, abstraction, and reusability of modules. While the deductive database approach to knowledge representation has its merits in the declarativity of the underlying logic languages and the integration of deduction and efficient database acces...

cql is a UNIX system tool that applies C style query expressions to flat file databases. In some respects it is yet another addition to the toolbox of programmable file filters: grep [Hume88], sh [Bour78][BK89], awk [AKW88], and perl [Wall]. However, by restricting its problem domain, cql takes advantage of optimizations not available to these more general purpose tools. This paper describes t...
